A swordsmanship tournament was held in the village square today.

Compete for sword arms regardless of children or adults.

I had work to do, so I joined the audience along the way. Elsa was the winner of a tournament that also mixed adults among children.

Overwhelming victory by pushing other participants aside.

Even an adult who remembers the arms of a sword was like a child in front of Elsa's sword. A hundred rounds won't change the outcome.

"Hey. Kaisel. Your daughter was amazing! That's genius. You're going to be a swordsman."

"I'm sure you'd like guidance. Does an eagle child become an eagle? He seemed to see Kaisel's sword when he was younger."

The audience who were beside me have spoken their praises.

"It's not my power. It's his strength."

"Father, go! Did you see it!

Elsa comes running over happy after the game.

Trophies in its hands.

The expression was superior to the joy and excitement of victory.

"Oh. I was just watching. Congratulations on the victory. That was a good sword. It's proof that Elsa usually works hard without a break."

"But it's still not far from the arms of your father's sword. We need to work harder. You can't hit your father."

"Ha. I'm looking forward to that day."

I smiled at Elsa.

"Um... Promise, remember?

"Sure. If you could hit me with a blow, I'd only ask you one favor for anything Elsa wants, wouldn't I?

"... Yes"

"By the way, what is Elsa going to ask for?

"Oh, don't tell me that."

Elsa said so, blushing her cheeks and turning away.

... What are you trying to ask me to be ashamed of? You want me to buy a stuffed animal or something like that?

Well, I decide not to pursue it in depth.

When I reached out, I gently stroked Elsa's head.

"Huh..."

A distracted voice leaks.

Normally, Rin looked Elsa, but all this time her cheeks were loose.

I could stroke it, but it stayed.

"Shall we make Elsa's favorite stew of ravioli for dinner tonight?"

"Is it true!?

"Oh. It's a winning celebration. I'll put more on my arm."

"Oh, can I make an alternate?

"Sure. Eat it to your heart's content."

I smile at Elsa.

"- I did."

Elsa was happily small and holding hands in front of her chest.

"Eh heh. Every day, I want a swordsmanship tournament to open. That way you can win and eat stew every day."

"That's going to drastically reduce the number of participants"

If the swordsmanship tournament were held every day, my body wouldn't have it.

That's when I was laughing.

"Wow! There's a demon!

I heard the villagers screaming.

Me and Elsa open their eyes like they're pissed off.

- The demon came out!?

"Your voice was from the other side...... Elsa is quiet here. Don't move until I get back."

"I'm coming, too. Whoa!

"- Huh?"

"I won the swordsmanship tournament. Even I can fight with my father! So let me accompany your father, too!

Elsa's gaze at me was stubborn.

Whatever you say, they don't listen.

There's no respite just to persuade... I have no choice.

"Okay. You should follow me."

"- Yes!

Elsa follows me as I run to the screamer.

I captured the demon figure.

I am still trying to be a warrior to the villagers who have lost their hips.

It was a demon pig.

A pig's demon, covered in thick fur with fierce fangs.

"Hih, hih!

"It's all right! Help now!

"I'll fight, too. Whoa!

Elsa took the initiative and stood on the arrow.

Bravely erect a sword.

Then the consciousness of the demon hog turned to us from the villagers.

"-!?

With that hostile gaze, Elsa shrugged.

The demon hog comes running over as he strips his fangs off. - Despite this, Elsa cannot move off the spot.

"Ah... ah..."

He seemed totally swallowed up.

It's not good.

I stood in front of Elsa when I kicked him in the ground.

Take the Demon Pig's rampage head-on. Impact enough that your whole body's bones are about to shatter. A sharp fang decided on his right shoulder mouth.

"-Come on!?

A sharp pain ran.

But...

You can't leave here. There's Elsa in the back.

When I stir up my strength, I grip the fangs of the Devil's Pig. And as he lifted the giant, which was nearly hundreds of kilometers, he slammed it to the ground thoughtfully.

"Gummy!?

Where the devil pig stopped moving, he scratched his neck.

When you eject a lot of blood, it eventually stops moving.

He seemed to have done everything he could.

"Elsa. Are you hurt?

"Yes. But Father..."

Elsa's gaze was pouring on my right shoulder.

"I'm sorry. I, I couldn't do anything... I won the swordsmanship tournament, so I thought I could fight just like my father..."

"Ha. Never mind. Everyone's first fight is like that. Based on this experience, we just need to remember a little bit."

I smiled and stroked Elsa's head.

"Father."

"Hmm?"

"Isn't Father afraid of demons?

"That's scary. Sometimes I wonder if they'll do it. But I have people to protect."

"People to protect......?

"Oh. It's Elsa, it's Anna, it's Meryl... Even the people in this village, of course. I fight to protect my loved ones, not for myself - that's what gives me the courage."

"Wow, me."

Elsa shook her voice and said.

"I have important people, too. Eliza for my friend Meena. The same goes for Anna and Merrill. And my dad, of course."

"Then you can wave the sword for those people. Then you'll have the courage to beat the fear."

"… (Kokuri)"

Elsa snorted deeply at my words.

Today's defeat will surely be an important food for her. And you must be stronger from now on.
